Untitled Exhibit 

 

In partnership with the Traveling Exhibits Program, made possible by the Utah Division of Arts & Museums, you are invited to stop by and see the "Untitled" exhibit from March 7 to April 4 at the Park City Library. The exhibit explores the question of whether a title of a piece of art affects your perception of the piece. Each work will come with a pile of tags that allow the visitor to decide what they think the work should be called. For more information about the exhibit, please visit this link:

Featured Staff Pick
The Cat's Table by Michael Ondaatje
F ONDAATJ
reviewed by Pam K.

The story is told in the voice of an 11yr old boy as he boards a ship in Colombo bound for England. At mealtimes he is seated at the "cat's table" - as far from the Captain's Table as he can be. Here he meets 2 other boys and a group of "insignificant" adults. As the narrative moves between the decks and holds of the ship and the boy's adult years it tells a story that is entertaining, mysterious, magical, and heartfelt. Ondaatje's style is innovative and emotional and leaves you with a feeling of experiencing something amazing. (I listened to some of the book on audio which is read by the author who really makes you feel like you are witnessing the story.)
